The Power of Moments by Chip Heath: Our most positive moments are dominated by four elements: elevation, insight, pride, and connection. Having these four elements create more moments that really matter to us, but there still are some mysteries of experience. For example, "why do we feel most comfortable when things are certain, but we feel most alive when they're not". This book will answer questions like 'What if you had a better sense of how to create memories that matter for your children?' and 'What if a teacher could design a lesson that he knew his students would remember twenty years later?'. In this book about moments, rediscover how a brief experience can change a life, whether its by accident or luck.
